Harper did not request No. 34 from the Phillies out of respect for Hall of Famer Roy Halladay, saying at Saturday’s introductory news conference that the former two-time Cy Young Award winner, who died in a 2017 plane crash at the age of 40, should be the last Phillies player to wear that number. Harper will wear No. 3.
Poole said the only other Dodgers player to request No. 34 was Manny Ramirez, who was traded from Boston to the Dodgers in 2008. Ramirez wore No. 24 with the Red Sox, but that number is retired for Dodgers for Hall of Fame manager Walter Alston. Ramirez didn’t get his second choice, either.Ramirez eventually settled on No. 99.
Stewart has shuttled between the minor leagues and big leagues for three seasons. According to Fangraphs, the average velocity of his fastball fell from 93.3 mph in 2017, when he had a 3.41 ERA in 17 big-league appearances, to 91.1 mph in 2018, when he had a 6.11 ERA in nine games.Stewart switched to a more of a circular motion with his left foot in an effort to better position his lower half and gain more momentum as he drives toward the plate.
“It’s another step in the right direction,” Stewart said. “The ball feels better coming out. It’s just about getting consistent with it and commanding the heater. That’s when I’m at my best, when I’m commanding my fastball.”Russell Martin, the 36-year-old who was acquired from Toronto to share catching duties with Austin Barnes, has been sidelined for four days because of lower-back soreness, a condition manager Dave Roberts said was the result of “overuse.
“I can’t speak to that right now,” Roberts said. “I just know it’s going about as well as we could have hoped for Corey.”The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
El Toro!!!
No one has worn it for 29 years, if it hasn't been retired by now, it's not going to be & time to move on. If you are under 40, you probably didnt even see him play for the Dodgers.
34 should be retired also,for the accomplishments he did for the Dodgers organization and the community.
Are there truly any numbers that can compensate for that kind of negative energy? Guys like him are wrecking balls. He could put up 100 bombs and find a way to divide a team.
Maybe consider retiring the number.
the Dodgers need to retire number 34. There's only one number 34 for the Dodgers and that's Fernando Valenzuela.
I am relieved dodgers won't have an albert pujols or ryan howard contract
Huh? Maybe your headline should read 'Most Dodgers fans were dissapointed they won't be charged over $100 for a crappy seat in the nosebleed section and $20 for a Budweiser.
Such a relief to not have to do your job.

Bryce Harper's $330 million deal won't solve baseball's big spending issueMLB is a sport flush with cash and reached record revenue in 2018, but the business of baseball has big problems to solve: a decade of declining attendance and a revenue sharing model that hasn't fixed the gap between the richest and poorest teams. Because it’s the issue you’re talking about ? Baseball doesn’t have a cap on spending, except a luxury tax. Both the NFL and the NBA have salary caps for their teams, based on collective bargaining. Why is MLB not doing the same? WTF!!This is absurd! As the world starves-Americans are homeless hungry sick have no money & an idiot who hits a ball gets paid $300 million!! Something very very wrong!
